Mesquite, Texas

Not Your Average Rodeo

The city of Dallas has many beautiful towns and suburbs surrounding it. Among the top of these is popular Mesquite. About 35 miles east of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Mesquite is home to the world famous Mesquite ProRodeo. Once a small railroad town, the city was founded in 1878 and the land was predominately used for cotton farming, as well as sugar, corn, and hay. That is, until the end of the 1950s, when two things happened. In 1958 the Mesquite ProRodeo was established and a year later Mesquite opened Big Town Mall, the country’s first air-conditioned shopping mall. It didn’t take long before people took notice of the next big city. Today, more than 140,000 residents proudly call Mesquite home.
